Mental health status among non-psychiatric inpatients in a general hospital
Objective To analyze the mental health status of non-psychiatric inpatients in a general hospital, and to explore the relevant influencing factors, so as to provide references for the screening of mental health problems and the construction of intervention models among non-psychiatric inpatients.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 916 non-psychiatric inpatients in a third grade class A general hospital in Guangzhou, and all the inpatients were assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 item (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 item (GAD-7), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) and Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) to detect their depression, anxiety, insomnia and suicide risk status. Thereafter, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to screen the risk factors affecting the mental health of inpatients.Results A total of 339 (37.0%) inpatients with positive mental health problems were screened, and the screening results for each dimension revealed 218 cases (23.8%) of depression, 141 cases (15.4%) of anxiety, 257 cases (28.1%) of insomnia, 42 cases (4.6%) of suicidal ideation and 7 cases (0.8%) of suicidal behavior. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR=1.379, P<0.05) was a risk factor for positive screening of mental health problems. Ordinal Logistic regression analysis denoted that age above 60 years old (OR=1.542, P<0.05) and singlehood (OR=2.055, P<0.05) were risk factors affecting the severity of depression, while senior high school to junior college education (OR=0.524, P<0.05) was a protective factor of depression, meantime, female (OR=1.472, P<0.05) was a risk factor affecting the severity of insomnia.Conclusion Mental health problems are quite common among non-psychiatric inpatients in general hospitals, and are mainly affected by factors such as gender, age, marital status and educational background.
